I'm going to try and describe this in terms of what I smell instead of the actual notes. I get a rich sweet woody aroma when I smell this. I don\'t quite get the after the rain vibe but it does have earthy tones to it. This fragrance was in the sample set that i bought and it grew and grew on me until I purchased this travel size. I feel like ive fallen into thick undergrowth with something sweet at the core. I love it
